This study develops a microneurosurgical platform in mice to model brain tumor recurrence and metastasis, revealing molecular changes in relapsed tumors.

This study investigates how a chromosome 2q31.2 deletion affects neuronal plasticity by activating the integrated stress response (ISR) and shows that ISR inhibition improves neuronal function.

The paper identifies HTR2B on MDSCs as a target to enhance immune checkpoint inhibitors in breast-to-brain metastasis using clozapine and anti-PD-1 therapy.

The paper shows that lack of Polynesian representation in genetic reference panels hinders discovery of population-specific variants, but accurate imputation is possible with a small number of Polynesian references.
